Founded in 1901, Meguiar's has an undeniable position in the field of car wash fluid. In the U.S. market, where the automotive industry is most mature, Micron car wash fluid has been rated as the "best" car wash liquid brand by many evaluation agencies such as PEIMAG and AutoDeets. Micron manufactures products in almost all areas of surface treatment, including cleaners, polishes, protective waxes, moisturizers and protective products for different surfaces, which are used in homes, automobiles, yachts, ships, trains and airplanes. Due to its excellent performance in the automotive aftermarket, Micron was acquired by the international chemical giant 3M in 2008 and still maintains an independent brand operation.
Micron's product line in the field of car wash liquid is relatively comprehensive: there are not only gold car wash liquid series for general dust, but also NXT series for removing stubborn dirt such as guano droppings, and of course, waterless car wash liquid suitable for scenarios such as limited space and lack of high-pressure water guns. From the perspective of product formula, Micron's strength is second to none, and many car wash liquid products add high-tech polymers and carnauba wax ingredients to the formula, which has a very good glazing and brightening effect while cleaning. In addition to Micron, ChemKid's waterless car wash fluid also has a high content of carnauba ingredients.
Micron's most outstanding product is the Gold Car Wash Liquid series (G7164), which has been rated as the best car wash liquid by many foreign evaluation agencies, targeting general dust and other dirt, its lubrication performance and foam richness are very good, and the dirt washed away is easy to be washed away from the body, and there will be no corrosion caused by residue. In terms of price, the price of the 2.04 kg pack is 159 yuan, which is higher than that of general brands, and is suitable for car owners who have consumption upgrade needs.
The gold series car wash liquid is suitable for "water" car washing, and its counterpart is "waterless car washing". The concept of Waterless Wash was first enforced by the Singapore government to protect the environment and save water. The operation steps are simple, first wet the car body with car wash liquid, and then scrub it with a towel, eliminating the process of washing with water, and naturally there will be no underground pollution caused by car wash water. In addition, waterless car washing is not limited by the site, does not require tools such as water guns, and is more flexible than traditional car washing methods. Micron's G3626 waterless car wash fluid is specifically designed for this car wash scenario, which is a spray product that can be cleaned without hoses and buckets, and can be cleaned by simply spraying and wiping. The price is higher, 89 yuan for 0.84kg.
For more stubborn stains and surface contaminants such as insect stains, bird droppings, etc., the Gold range and waterless car wash fluids may not be able to cope with them. NXT Super Car Wash Liquid (G12619) is specifically aimed at the above-mentioned dirt, which can effectively penetrate, emulsify and decompose dust stains without damaging the wax protective layer, and the price of 0.6 kg is 99 yuan.
When car owners wash their cars, it is recommended to choose lukewarm weather. Car washing on a cloudy day is not conducive to the drying of water, and the convex lens formed by the car washing water droplets under the scorching sun will produce a focusing effect, which will make the car paint locally high, and in the long run, the car paint will lose its luster. In addition, the water temperature of the car wash is also very important, the water temperature should be about the same as the temperature of the car surface, too large the temperature difference will cause the paint surface to be brittle and cracked. It is worth mentioning that the value of a car's original paint will account for more than 10% of the car price, and the paint is also the primary inspection content of the second-hand car appraiser.
